Abstract: 6979. Elder, D. March 20. Machines for erecting or fixing fencing.-Relates to a portable machine for binding together two or more wires, and particularly for securing wire netting to fencing wires; and comprises means by which the binding-wire is fed, coiled, and cut off in one continuous operation. The frame has a handle 3 at one end and jaws 8 at the other adapted to be engaged over the wires 26, 27 to be bound together, and the binding - wire 1 is fed longitudinally through the machine by feed-rollers 4, 5, Fig. 4, of which the latter is mounted adjustably against the pressure of the spring 45 to accommodate different thicknesses of binding- wire, and both are operated at the proper time through the pinion 13 and part gear-wheel 10 by the hand-crank 12. The wheel 10 carries at its side a bevel-wheel 15, which operates, through the gearing 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, a wheel 23 having a gap 25 extending beyond its centre after the manner of known twisting-wheels, as shown in Fig. 5. This gap-wheel 23 has also on its face an eccentric coiling-pin 33 provided with a friction ring 34 and is mounted rotatably in the end of a lever 30. which is pivoted at 31 to the frame of the machine and pressed outwards by a spring 46 so that its other end contacts with a face cam 29 on the wheel 10. Fig. 5 shows a length of binding-wire 1 fed forward and the coiling-pins 33 commencing to coil it round the fence wires 26, 27. After the wire has been wrapped round twice, it is cut off against the face of the die 7 by the cutting end 38 of a pivoted cam-operated lever 36<a>, so that another length of binding-wire may be fed along while the coil is being completed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Torpedo Launching Apparatus.
Inventor: DAVISON GREGORY CALDWELL
IPC: F41F3/10
Filed: 1912-04-25
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 9851. Davison, G. C. April 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Launching torpedoes.-Relates to torpedo tubes designed for launching torpedoes under water from submersible torpedo boats in a direction other than that. of the moving vessel, and consists in so mounting the tube that it may be trained through friction gearing, which gearing allows the tube to be deflected when the torpedo protrudes therefrom and encounters the water resistance, thereby preventing binding of the torpedo in the mouth of the tube. The gyroscope for controlling the torpedo is started and its gimbal ring released prior to the torpedo protruding from the tube, so that the torpedo ultimately takes the direction of the trained tube. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 7, twin tubes Care mounted on a superstructure B on the hull A of a submersible boat, the tubes being carried by a turntable D mounted on rollers. A trunk E forming part of the turntable passes through a watertight bearing e and is rotatable within a housing F which receives compressed air by a pipe G and communicates with the trunk in any position by an annular port f. From the port f, air is led to balanced valves H which communicate by pipes h with the rear end of each tube. The valves H are actuated by air admitted to their lower surfaces, Fig. 8, from cylinders I the pistons i in which first release latches J to free the torpedo. The piston k in cylinder K operates a plug L which controls the air supply within the torpedo for setting the gyroscope ring in motion and releasing the gimbal ring. Hand-operated valves M first admit air from the housing F to the cylinders K, and then to the cylinders I, the valves H being opened immediately afterwards. The tubes are trained by means of worm gearing O, N, Fig. 7, actuated by the hand-wheel o, Fig. 2, the worm - wheel N carrying friction blocks n which engage the trunk E sufficiently for training, but allow the trunk to turn within the wheel when the tubes are deflected due to the torpedo protruding therefrom and meeting the resistance of the water. A cap P forms a closure for the tubes and is removed, when required, by rotating the hand-wheel p. In a modified arrangement, the tubes, operated as described above, are mounted beneath the deck of the superstructure B. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 9, the tube 1 is wholly within the hull 5 of the vessel, and is mounted in a universal joint 2, and trained by rack and pinion gearing 11, 13. Between the training-wheel 25 and the pinion 13 is a friction clutch to allow motion of the tube due to the protruding torpedo encountering the water resistance. A gate valve 7 is provided.

Abstract: 12,190. Bell, I. Nov. 25. [Addition to 12,188/11.] Aerial machines without aerostats; adapted to travel also on land; planes, construction of; propelling; steering.-In aerial machines of the type described in the parent Specification, having flapping or rotary planes, steering-planes are provided at each side of the machine and are controlled either automatically by the lateral swing of the pendulous body or by hand. In one form, having planes flapping about transverse axes, the plane-carrying structure 2 is hinged to the underframe having road wheels arranged similarly to a bicycle, tricycle, or quadricycle. The rear wheel or wheels are driven from the motor. Side wheels 24 are resiliently connected to the underframe 1. The flapping planes 28, 30 are carried by arms 13, 19, vibrated by disks 11, 12, which are actuated by pedals 20, 21 or from the axle of the rear wheel 3. The forward flapping plane 27 is carried by an arm 18, which is vibrated from the disks 11, 12 by cables 15 having springs 11<a>, 11<b> inserted in their length. A spring cable 16<a> equalizes the driving power. At each end of the plane 28 is arranged a balancing plane 32, hinged about a transverse axis and connected by springs to the plane. The incidence of the plane 32 is controlled by a cord 34, which is connected to the swinging underframe, or to manual operating-means, by a cord 36. Each side portion of the plane 28 may be divided into two parts and the outer part inclined relatively to the inner part; or the plane 28 may be warped. In another form, in which the planes rotate with the same side uppermost throughout their rotation and two sets of pedals are provided, the non-flapping balancing planes 94, Fig. 4b, may be hinged about a transverse axis 94<a> and operated by the laterally swinging underframe or by the pilot. The rotary planes are maintained parallel to themselves during their rotation by chains 77<a> passing around a stationary pinion 77<b> on the shaft of the propeller. In order to vary the inclination of the rotary blades when the machine inclines, the plane 94 is connected with the pinion 77b.
